After the Quake by Haruki Murakami

I finished this small book of short stories this morning. Each tale tells the story of someone who, in some way, was affected by the Kobe earthquake of 1995. Other than that, the stories are very different ... They deal with love, death, friendship, and some are fantastical. I hadn't realised it was a book of short stories when I began, so turned the page to find out what happened next, at the end of the first story, and got quite confused! An enjoyable little book, though. I do enjoy short stories, and the sense of completeness and incompleteness you get at the end ... what happened next?
